"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1003
"No, they broke their promises and agreed to cooperate with us to attack the rebels, but now they are hesitating in the area of ??Baishan Province, watching us fight with the rebels, and want to take advantage of the fisherman."
After hearing Yan Jing's words, Prime Minister Liu Zhao also immediately refuted the proposal.
"If we borrow troops, I'm afraid it's easy to ask the gods to send them away. Once the wolves ride to the Hexi province, it will not be easy to drive them away."
At the beginning, the imperial court and the prairie wolf cavalry reached a secret agreement, that is, the wolf cavalry went south to attack the rebels, and the imperial court ceded several northern provinces to them.
In order to win the wolf cavalry to send troops, the imperial court also raided the treasury and gave a lot of money as military expenses for sending troops.
However, after the wolf riders occupied several provinces in the north, they watched the excitement from the sidelines, and there were always various reasons for the court to urge them.
The result was that the newly expanded imperial guards were unable to defeat the rebels in a short period of time. The war between the two sides became a war of attrition, and the court also fell into the quagmire of war.
The court was already in turmoil, and the prolonged war dragged them into the abyss.
"If you don't borrow troops, can you repel the bandit army?"
? Facing the opposition from Prime Minister Liu Zhao, Prime Minister Zuo Yan Jing also refuted without anger.
"We can make peace with the bandits." Liu Zhao said.
"Hmph, the bandits are ambitious. They have already occupied several provinces in the south. Will you make peace with them if you want?"
"Now the rebels and bandits are the confidants of my court. We can no longer feed tigers into trouble. We can only use the hands of wolf riders to completely cut them off, otherwise the court will be in danger."
"But the wolves on the prairie are equally ambitious, aren't they a serious problem?" Liu Zhao retorted.
"The prairie wolves are not used to the cultivation of our dynasty. They just like to herd horses and sheep. Even if they are ambitious, they will hardly pose a threat to our dynasty."
"And most of them are cavalry. There are strong cities everywhere in my territory. As long as we fortify the walls and clear the fields, their cavalry are not good at attacking cities, so they are not a big threat to us."
"The thieves and the rebels are different. They are not only familiar with farming, but also able to incite the people of dawn, and their fighting methods are the same as ours. Compared with wolf cavalry, they are the biggest threat to us."
"So now we can only unite with the wolf cavalry to completely eradicate these two serious problems."
Under the rhetoric of Yan Jing, the prime minister of the left, Liu Zhao, the prime minister of the right, also had to admit that compared with the prairie wolf cavalry, the rebels and bandits were a greater threat to them.
?Because the rebel army occupied half of the country, the bandit army also occupied an important food-producing area in the south.
If these two forces cannot be eliminated as soon as possible, the court will really be in jeopardy.
At the beginning, Long Jun felt that it would be better to make peace with Chen Ziang and the others, even if they signed some secret treaties to stabilize them.
But after hearing Yan Jing's analysis, he realized that if the development of the bandit army is not curbed, then it will be impossible to fight in the future.
In fact, the Qinghe army is now helpless by the imperial court, but Lord Long is unwilling to admit it.
"If it's a loan, what if they don't agree?" Long Jun asked worriedly.
After all, borrowing soldiers is not a joke, it is a big deal, and whether they can be borrowed is still a question.
"Your Majesty, if we want to borrow troops, we may have to pay a little more." Yan Jing sighed.
"Do you want to cede the land again?"
Previously, in order to persuade the wolf cavalry to send troops, they had ceded several provinces in the north to the prairie wolf cavalry.
If you want to borrow troops from them now, you have to either pay money or cede the land, because they have no choice.
The continuous wars have exhausted the money in the treasury, and the court has no money now, so it can only cede the land.
"Your Majesty, it's fine to cede the land, but we can't cede the land close to the Gyeonggi Province. We can cede the Hedong and the eastern provinces to the wolves."
"These lands are all in the hands of the rebels. If the wolf riders want to get these ceded lands, they must take it themselves. Then they will inevitably fight the rebels."
"Of course, this is our idea. I heard that their right sage Wang Congmin is cunning, so maybe we won't agree."
"To be on the safe side, we have to be prepared."
"What preparation?"
"Marriage."
"We can marry Her Royal Highness Princess Mingyue to King Youxian, then once the marriage is completed, we will be considered a family, and they will definitely help."
"Why not marry their Golden Horde Khan, but the Right Wise King?" Long Jun asked puzzled.
Yan Jing explained: "Their golden tent is far away in the depths of the grassland, and the journey is far away. If we want to marry, it will be too late."
"Perhaps we haven't completed the marriage in exchange for them to send troops, and the bandit army has already approached the city."
"However, it is different from their marriage with King Youxian. They are in Baishan Province. Once the marriage is completed, they can send troops to help."
"Furthermore, the marriage between King Youxian and our court will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the Great Khan of the Golden Horde. At that time, it will also create a gap between them and create conflicts within them."
After hearing what Yan Jing said, Prime Minister Liu Zhao was also terrified. He didn't expect that there was such a plan in Yan Jing's marriage.
"His Royal Highness Princess Mingyue is extremely intelligent. If she can control King Youxian, then hundreds of thousands of wolf riders can be used by me."
"Prince Youxian's heirs all died young. If Princess Mingyue can give birth to her son in the future, then she will be able to inherit the position of King Youxian in the future. As long as I give more help, maybe I can completely control the grassland and make the grassland more beautiful. The prairie wolf is my vassal."
Thinking that the lord of the grassland will be the blood of the dynasty in the future, and controlling the grassland in this way, the emperor Long Jun also feels that Prime Minister Zuo Yanjing is far-sighted.
They only lost one princess, but they will reap huge rewards in the future.
"I'm worried that my sister won't agree."
Thinking of marrying his younger sister to King Youxian of the Grassland in exchange for them sending troops, Lord Long felt that he was too unmanly.
? Their majestic dynasty is now relying on women in exchange for vitality, their faces are dull.
"This is a court decision. Her Royal Highness Princess Mingyue has always understood righteousness. For the continuation of the court and for my dynasty to last forever, I think she will agree." Yan Jing said.
"Forget it, I just wronged her."
Although Long Jun was a little reluctant to use his sister in exchange for the assistance of the wolf cavalry, he had no other choice now.
"As soon as possible, you send people to Baishan Province to meet King Youxian and settle the matter. I will go lobby with the imperial sister."
"Your Majesty is holy!"
Seeing that Lord Long agreed to this matter, Yan Jing also shouted for the emperor to be holy, while Liu Zhao, the right prime minister, couldn't help but heaved a long sigh, thinking to himself, using women to shield the court from wind and rain, they were really heartbroken I am ashamed.
